You should look up the double empathy problem. Its been shown that autistic people don’t struggle to communicate or be understood by other autistic people. Its only between autistic and non autistic people where the issues arise but only one side gets all the blame when the failure is both ways.

If they break the contract of respect, they don’t deserve its protection

Mastodon is pretty great for queer people. Better than lemmy I would say (and obviously better than the mainstream apps) …

Bad bait, go away

You think dying isn’t a politically relevant act?

I feel like there is a subtle missunderstanding of my point. Its not that there is politics and then there is everything else… its all political, everything, anything humans care about at all is politics.

There is no escape from it because its everything. Buy a bottle of water, that political, drive to work, that’s political, play a game of dnd with your friends, thats political, jerk off alone in the forest where no one anywhere will ever see or know, guess what… political.

Politics is the collective struggle to decide what we will and will not do, what we can and can not do, our values. Anything and everything you care about is political. Even if its something you take for granted and don’t think about ever, the fact that you can take it for granted is political.

There isn’t less or more politics at any given time, only less or more acknowledgement of the political realities at that time. Its everything.

You can’t escape politics, its baked into everything. You are expressing political views right now even as you claim otherwise. Even complete dissociation from society is a political choice. Its childish to try and escape from it, an abdication of our responsibility to others.

Nah leftists true enemy is the luke warm centrist who will agree in theory but not in action. Fascists are atleast honest and easy to spot. Its the people in the middle who bothsides evey argument till we are sitting here watching genocide happening before our eyes and still nothing is done to stop it.

I just support prison abolition in general, especially here in the US where I am. The shear number of poor, poc, indigenous, and mentally ill people who get funneled into the prison system here is a travesty and just pointless cruelty. TBH i dont give a fuck about one billionaire as long as the money is taken back and she loses all her power. Though I also do not support the death penalty so this headline doesn’t make me feel super comfortable.

i mean… abolish prisons too? Yes… I think yess :)
